The Lalitasahasranama-stotram of Thousand Names of the Divine Mother is a thrilling text. Each name expresses the incomparable glory, goodness and grace of the Divine Mother. The text teaches the universal motherhood ideal. To know that we are children of the same mother and to behave accordingly may be the only remedy for the mounting violence and inhumanity in all parts of the world. In this edition of the Lalitasahasranama, each verse is rendered into simple English, reorganizing it as a prayer to the Divine Mother. The Notes are mainly translations of some of the authoritative texts quoted by commentators for the purpose of elucidation. The experiential words of Sri Ramakrishna on the Motherhood phenomenon, culled from the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, which forms the first Appendix, gives a new dimension to the publication. The Namavali is added for use in the Sahasranamarcana.
